Clemens is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Orioles.
Left-hander Trevor Rogers is on the hill for the Orioles in the series opener, so the Twins will send Clemens and fellow left-handed hitters Trevor Larnach and Alan Roden to the bench to stock up on some extra right-handed bats. Clemens owns a 76 wRC+ against left-handed pitching over parts of five seasons in the majors but has been more effective in those matchups in 2026, slashing .229/.282/.448 over 104 plate appearances.
